Vieri says Tottenham star Kane would succeed in Serie A

Former Italy striker Christian Vieri says Tottenham star Harry Kane would succeed in Serie A.

Kane is being linked with Juventus this week.

Vieri told the Daily Mail: "He is an exceptional player. I would have played well with him as a partnership. I had the Brazilian Ronaldo, Hernan Crespo, Alessandro Del Piero, Francesco Totti, Baggio. I loved playing with the technicians.

"Kane is not the classic English striker: physically he does not have many muscles like Lukaku but he has dribbling, running, precise and powerful shots. In Italy, someone like him is said to have 'soft feet'.

"I like Kane very much because he has an unusual technique and quality, he is beautiful to look at. LaLiga or Serie A will be excellent leagues for him if he decides to leave London and Tottenham.

"He has no problem playing well in very technical leagues. Kane is not a No 9 like Alan Shearer, who was an idol for me, one of the strongest English strikers in history. But Kane is equally strong."
